    Practicing Self Care Should Be a Priority

    Date: 2021-08-14

    Why should practicing self care be a priority? We are living through not only a COVID-19 pandemic, but also stress levels that most of us have never experienced before. Because of this, there are constant stressors we battle each and every day, and we all feel gigantic pressure and weight on our shoulders. But the thing is, we can't pour from an empty cup. And, we can't draw funds from a deficient bank account. Similarly, we can't take care of others if we are not taking care of ourselves. But how do we refill our cups and our bank accounts, per se? In order to refill our cups, we must practice self care, and we must practice it often. In this article, we will learn about self care, and why should be making it a priority in our lives.

    What is Self Care?

    Self care is a conscious act that someone takes in order to promote or improve their physical and mental well-being. Although, this is not to be confused with being selfish or self-indulgent. It is exactly what is sounds like, taking care of yourself. We should take care of ourselves so that we feel fulfilled emotionally, mentally, and physically. Not only does practicing self care help us physically and mentally, but it also creates a positive and healthy relationship with ourselves. We can spend so much of our lives trying to take care of other people, when we should not forget about ourselves. But if we don't take care of us first, how can we ensure we take care of others? Here, the difficult task is ensuring that we practice self care as often as we can. It is so easy to make excuses to avoid taking care of yourself, but once we start practicing it regularly, we will notice a difference. Some people view it as a luxury as opposed to a priority, but there is more to it than meets the eye. In the next paragraph, we'll talk about the multitude of non-selfish ways that we can practice self care and actively improve our state of mind and being.

    Ways to Practice Self Care

    Firstly, practices can be different for everyone. A facial may be one person's way of practicing, while socializing with close friends can be someone else's. Some people practice a self care act that makes a certain part of them feel better, such as physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Physical self care is taking care of your physical self while ensuring your body feels good and healthy. Next, mental self care is ensuring that you are taking care of your mental health and balancing the mind, which is something we could all use. Similarly, spiritual self care is taking care of your inner self on a deeper level, tuning into your higher self. Lastly, emotional self care is nurturing and tuning into our feelings, emotions and thoughts as well as our conscious inner state.  In the next paragraph, we will look at some different forms of self care, and you can decide what practices are best for you.
